Lhakpa Sherpa is the most successful female Everest climber of all time. Outside Magazine commissioned me to go to the Connecticut home of the Mountain Queen herself, and I got to know her a bit over coffee. We chatted about her kids, the magic of nature, and her incredible life while she packed for her departure to climb Mount Everest for a staggering 10th time. She is a true badass and the sweetest soul.
